The Distribution Network Assessments Analyst will provide contractor support in analyzing, assessing, and reporting on distribution infrastructure, transportation network performance, and logistics capabilities across the Pacific theater. This role provides critical insights to inform operational planning, posture development, and sustainment execution by identifying distribution constraints and recommending improvements to joint, interagency, and multinational logistics systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze and assess intra-theater distribution requirements in support of OPLAN and CONPLAN execution, including force movement, sustainment flow, and throughput capacity across the theater.
• Identify and report on Component transportation constraints, including limitations in infrastructure, lift capacity, and node availability affecting theater distribution operations.
• Evaluate the status and performance of Aerial Ports of Debarkation (APODs) and Seaports of Debarkation (SPODs), including throughput capacity, infrastructure readiness, intermodal access, and potential chokepoints.
• Assess multinational logistics capabilities and shortfalls, supporting integration of coalition and host nation distribution assets into joint operational planning.
• Analyze commercial transportation capabilities and limitations, including surface, sea, and air logistics support providers across the Pacific region.
• Identify network risks and distribution system constraints impacting the efficient movement of personnel, equipment, and sustainment materiel.
• Support the development of logistics planning products, distribution estimates, theater posture assessments, and Sustainment Annex inputs.
• Collaborate with Service Component Commands, USTRANSCOM, Joint Task Forces (JTFs), and partner nation logistics planners to integrate assessment findings into operational planning.
• Develop and present assessment briefs, decision support products, and white papers to inform senior logistics leaders.
• Participate in distribution-focused exercises, posture reviews, and planning conferences as needed.
